The Balut Kiki Project
Tuloy lang, mga Bes! We are an international award-winning Filipino podcast by fabulous members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our goal is to normalize and de-stigmatize conversations that Pinoys generally only talk about in secret - mental health problems (like depression and suicide), sex, sexuality and the human body, non-traditional relationships, among others. "Balut" is a Filipino delicacy consisting of a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. So, we aim to make our episodes nutritious though they are not for the faint of heart. While "kiki" is queer slang for a gathering among friends. Kaya we throw in discussions about queer culture and interests - because why not, diba? We are uniquely PINOY. We are unapologetically QUEER. Join your hosts Mel, Geoff, Nealle together with Peter, Morey, Kenny, Choi, and a bevy of other Bessies! Winner, BEST PODCAST HOST, 1st Asia Podcast Festival Awards, Singapore.

63: LAGIM Podcast Takes Over
Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
The Balut Kiki Project turned one year old last May and so we let other people take over the podcast!
Christine Abrigana, Asia Podcast Festival-nominated fabulous host of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast and Asia In The Shadows, takes over the Project to help cast some light on the long -regarded 'invisible' sexual orientation: ASEXUALITY.
Jesh Alberto (Philippines), who identifies as a non-binary, homoromantic asexual and a member of the FB group Asexual Support PH , joins Christine on this episode to help demystify this often misunderstood and under-discussed orientation in our wonderfully diverse community.
Alam nyo ba that the A in LGBTQIA2+ stands for asexual, aromantic, agender?
Maraming salamat sa ating Curious Ally for this highly informative take-over! Isang tagay ng mimosa for Bes Christine! Cheers!
At sa inyo mga Bessies, thank you for keeping us company this past year!
